Rather than place my work into the harsh scrutiny of memoirs, I developed my story through the eyes of a fictional character, Anna Matteo. It is the story of a stolen childhood, a family torn apart by the violence of mafia ties and one young girl’s resilient spirit that allowed her to rise above the hardships and seek solace in the most unusual ways.

I am the author of "Painting The Invisible Man" which is about a young girl growing up in a family on the fringes of the Mafia.
Thank you, though, for you comment. - All the best,
Rita]]>
